This prompted me to recover my AOL account and backup my email, which I got when I was in 6th grade and stopped using when I went to college (a friend gave me a coveted invite for Gmail). I had to call them because I hadn't accessed the account in 10 years, and use my parents' names and the name of a pet that died 10 years ago as a security question. I was happy I got the account back but... they purged all of my data because I hadn't used it in 180 days. Quite disappointing!
